Arkham Asylum: Shock Therapy (Lethal Weapon Retheme)

[Park Addict 93]

Hangover would be a good fit for LW

Are you joking, that is almost as bad as Spy Kids

[pin142]

Think Hangover as in it would be like the pain you get from waking up with one. More suitable than Spy Kids.

[Spencer]

Spy kids is awesomeskees, can't wait till they put that puppy in. mmm

[Spotty]

Lethal is also getting a whole extra month of Maintenence, instead of going down on the 27th of FEB it's going down on the 27th of JAN instead.

[mba2012]

Hopefully this means it's getting more of a re-theme. Though it would be more likely to be re-themed if the maintenance had an until further notice at the end of the maintenance period. They would not leave a coaster sitting there closed. Otherwise they would have lost their mind leaving 3 rides SBNO in one park! Edit: I just found out that there is a new Lethal Weapon movie coming out sometime within the next two years. Maybe they're preparing the ride and building for a retime to the new Lethal Weapon. If they are adding or removing rooms and buildings It could take them all the time they are using to do these major renovations. Just a suggestion.

There is also a new Police Academy movie coming so I wouldn't necessarily count on the ride staying Lethal Weapon.

[joz]

Well depends what the theme is. I mean if they decide to theme it to Arkham, than the same colours would be totally appropriate. If it were themed to Wonder Woman on the other hand, the dark grey wouldn't be right at all. FWIW, I think it's a good colour for the theme, and painting it garish colours is not needed. If you want a park that's painted random bright colours, go to Dreamworld and see how crap it looks.

[alex_1]

I agree I like LW's colours as they are. Superman and Green Lantern are the bright ones, Lethal Weapon adds to the background with duller colours.

[Brad2912]

Agree with colours. It has to stay dark grey or black at worst regardless of re-theme (IMO) Oh, and Lethal Weapon 5 (will never get made), police academy (ditto) are terrible theming ideas. Development has not even started on these movies so it would be a good 3-4 yrs before release (and that's if they come to fruition). I think Arkham is a great theme, or something in the Batman universe. Superman and GL get a coaster, so should batman! Space shot doesn't count!

[Gazza]

(anyone know any Terminator-like or apocalyptic movies made by Warner Bros?)

Terminator Salvation....

[Park Addict 93]

On topic! A fence has apparently gone up blocking Lethal already (from what I have heard).

I'm Just Sick of Movie World Shuting down rides if you visting MW on 15 Feb or 15 March 4 rides are going to be closed and lot peeps will try to go on LW but it's closed ! i will see lot of peeps buying a 1 day pass which is around $70 to get in expet if you are member On 15 Feb LW , SE and of course LTRR And BATR2 are going be closed but if you visit on 15 of March 5 days after my birthday ! These rides are closed LW again BS , LTRR and BATR2 But sick of mw shuting down the good rides :angry2: and leaving the crap ones open expet for GL,RRRC ,Scooby Who argees ?

[pin142]

Crap ones open? I don't see WWF on the list of closed/mentioned rides. You have to remember what the park lacks in quantity it makes up for with quality. Also counting rides that are permanently closed to make way for a new one isn't fair. It doesn't matter if you go in Feb/Mar or July/Aug you still won't be able to ride Looney or Batman Adventure. The only way you may have a chance if you have a Delorean!

[alex_1]

Jacko, rides need to be closed for maintenance.

[mba2012]

I agree alex, Jacko, if rides do not close for maintenance they will all close for good just like LTRR, Batride and BT.

[casey96]

I agree with jacko on some points. I think it's pretty crap when they have two of there three main actual thrill rides closed down for maintenance at the same time. BS and SD aren't really 'thrill' thrill rides they're more 'family' thrill rides in my opinion. I don't think i will be going during that time

Its not called off season for nothing.

[S.W24]

Jacko not to mention LTRR and BATR2 really cant be added to your list. So you have two attractions closed. Not to mention you would think someone like your self, who i assume is a theme park junkie should know better. As soon as Feb hits annual maintenance hits. No annual maintenance is conducted during peak season times, very much like training or hiring. its stupid to do so. You want to ensure for the peak periods everything is in full swing. I shouldn't even have to really explain this its basic common sense. Back on topic!!! No matter the manufacture of the trains, or the changes made to the attraction. Im pretty sure the product that will be provide will be of a very high quality. Im really looking forward to seeing it all come together and experience the final product.

[casey96]

Even on off season feburary and march aren't the only off peak months. I'm just saying that they shouldn't have them both down at the same time. It's not like there is no one who visits during these times

It is the least visited months as its that start of the school year, therefore less crowds. So they take the time to catch up on maintenance from the busiest period of the year. Edited January 28, 2012 by Cruiseshipfan

[Brad2912]

back on topic... there are murmurs on facebook that the ride layout and design will be changed, as well as new carriages and themeing

[mba2012]

They don't have enough time to change the ride layout and design. They could if they did what the american parks do and work on it in the rain. But this is movie world, look at how they cope with the rain most of the time, they would never be able to do anything like that in that period of time. If they would do that there wouldd already be pieces of track at the park.

[alex_1]

They definately wont change the layout. To do that they'd have to pretty much remove LW completely and get Vekoma to come and design a whole new layout... Why go to that much effort when you can just replace it? But they are changing the trains.

[Brad2912]

i didnt believe the layout change was likely or plausible - just passing on what people are saying! China town is completely blocked off too, so hopefully that is being made way for something, or at least re-themed completely

[keadz]

You mean that "reliable rumor" could be false?!? 2 months is a decent amount of time to do something somewhat good. My hopes are officially high.
